WORLD CLASS RETREAT
NIHI Sumba, located on one of Indonesia’s most remote islands, has developed into a world class retreat catering to honeymooners, families and adventure enthusiasts alike.
Its rich tropical rainforest, the whiteness of the beaches, the inexorable rolling motion of the gentle Indian Ocean, the green rice paddies and swaying grasslands.
You’ll also have time to meditate on the nature of mankind as you immerse yourself in Sumba’s wild festivals, the ancient animist rituals and Stone Age sites that are such an important part of this far-flung island. Not to mention the modern day luxuries and natural beauty of NIHI Sumba itself – the thinking person’s paradise.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
